Ingredients :
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced.
- 2 cup all-purpose flour (and half a cup for work surface)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt and pepper ( I'm using pink salt and peppercorn)
- 1 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley (I'm using a pre-blended mix)
- 1 water to boil potatoes in
Method :
- Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes. You want to be able to smash a chunk easily with the back of a fork.
- When your potatoes are drained and smashed, pour flour on a clean surface and make a "well" in the center.
- Add your smashed potatoes in the "well" you"ve made, and add your seasonings.
- Start folding the potatoes into the flour, starting with a fork. Once it starts to come together, make another "well" in the center of the potato-flour pile. Add your egg, (I should"ve beated it first before adding it) and knead the potato flour into the egg.
- DO NOT OVER-MIX!!! Once the dough comes together, STOP. The dough should be slightly sticky and that is fine. Sprinkle a bit of flour to your work space and roll out the dough into ropes.
- Roll the rope into half-inch thickness. It will double in size when you boil it, so be aware! We"re not making dumplings here, bruh!
- I cut my rope in half for easy cutting. Placed my dough ropes side by side, and sliced them into about a quarter of an inch to half-inch slices.
- Some people like to get fancy and make little designs on their gnocchi, like rolling them--individually--with a fork or tool; or even going in and slightly denting each one into "dimples". Honestly, I just want to eat. So, we"re having plain pillow-shapes! :)
- If you"re weird, like me, you"d go and wash out that same pot you boiled potatoes in, and fill with more water to boil the little gnocchi pillows in. I pieced in a gnocchi at a time, so they don"t stick together while they boil.
- Oh yeah, boil for about 4 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface; and you"re done!
- If you want to save some gnocchi for another day, these guys freeze well. Just lay them in a single layer on a plate, flash-freeze for about half an hour, then remove from the plate and throw them in a zip-lock bag for space-saving.
